Big Brother back in 2025 on 10! AND LIVE!

They’d essentially have to do at least two evictions per week for the entire series to feel somewhat complete and even then at 4 weeks we’d have virtually no time to get to know the HM’s.

Also hoping they expand for future series isn’t ideal… I can almost guarantee they’ll never get the series anywhere near where it should be. Decent ratings will pretty much confirm whatever misguided belief 10 have about the series that led to this decision. Bad ratings will simply confirm the idea that BB is a dead format in Australia without looking at why the series actually failed.

Whilst I'd prefer a half-week cycle with nominations and evictions in each I think a double eviction each week is probably neater, and more cost effective if they're having a live audience. Perhaps if they keep it to 12 HMs rather than have the 16 BBUK has it's not so bad doing weekly evictions. If it's 6 weeks you can have 4 singles and a double over the first 5 weeks then in the final weekend (which I imagine would be over Sunday/Monday) have a double on the Sunday (as a result of nominations), then 4 in the final.

or they could do it how Australian Idol does it now (and indeed how the first half of the very first season back in 2003 did in the finals because they were running out of time to fit in before end of ratings) which was every week is a double eviction (12-10-8-6), then the semi final cuts from 6 to 3 for the Finale. Thats over about a 6-8ish week period (if you count the Final 12 selection week or two as well).

On another note, I am a bit concerned about how sensitive people can be these days. I worry that it's going to take ONE minor, controversial interaction, and people will be up in arms, demanding the show be cancelled.

This is going to be an issue 100%
It will be a disaster if Channel 10 turn it into a “Woke” show.

If C10 progress with a short series in 2025, they'll be going all out on making the show a success so advertisers get on board for a longer run in 2026.

This is my thinking. Advertisers are going to be quite wary considering how low ratings were for the last season on Seven.

Hell, in the last season they lost KFC as a sponsor and they were desperate enought that they accepted a sponsorship deal with a sex toy website.
